AR is in development, too.  I should probably update that info, but the fact
is that Kansas is a lightweight, simple, stable system with fairly few
"unimplemented features" (my buzzword for bugs ;) used across a veriety of
production applications, in one version or another, for well over a year
and currently servicing several million transactions a day.  So, it
probably should not be listed as alpha, though the version number will stay
low because it isn't what I want it to be, yet.

As for "Contains SQL code".  What are you talking about?

sodiums = dbh.select(:Chemicals, :Manufacturers) do |c,m|
  (c.chemical_name =~ '%sodium%') && (c.manufacturer.name =~ '%flynn%')
end

chlorides = dbh.select(:Chemicals) {|c| c.chemical_name =~ '%chloride%'}

sodium_chlorides = sodiums & chlorides

sodium_chlorides.each {|x| x.chemical_name = x.chemical_name.upcase}

That hardly looks like SQL.
